SHAVING-MUG ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 1'7, 1921.

Application filed September 27, 1920. Serial No. 413,052.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. DARABAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shaving-Mug Attachments, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to shaving mug attachments, and has for its principal object the provision of a new and improved construction comprising a handy, convenient and efficient arrangement by which hot water may be supplied for shaving at any time and place as may be desired.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a which,

Figure 1, is a side view of my invention in position on a mug, partly broken away for clearness of illustration,

Fig. 2, a view of the attachment as seen from the right in Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3, a horizontal sectional view taken on line 33 of Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawings, 5 indicates a mug, of any suitable type, upon which my improved device is shown in position in Figs. 1 and 3. My attachment comprises a base formed of metal strips 6 and 7, as is best shown in Fig. 3, which are crossed at right angles to each other and are secured together in any suitable manner. As is shown in Figs. 1 and 2, each of the strips 6 and '7 is bent downwardly and again upwardly to form legs 8, by which the device is adapted to be supported upon a table, or other plane surface, when the attachment is removed from the mug 5. One end of the strip 7 is extended upwardly some little distance above the base for providing a hook 9, by which the base is supported upon the side of the mug 5. The opposite end of the strip 7 extends upwardly only a short distance, providing an arm 10 for assisting in holding in position a burner 11 of any approved type. The turned up ends of the strip 6 extend upwardly some little distance above the support in the form of standards 12 and 13 for supporting a small tank in posipart of this specification, and in tion, as hereinafter described. A brace bar 14 is provided connecting standards 12 and 13 with the hook member 9 for strengthening the structure. 16 are fixedly mounted upon the standards 12 and 13, respectively, adapted to engage the sides of the mug 5 so as to hold the attachment against lateral movement. The clips 15 and 16 are preferably so-mounted and so shaped as to have a spring pressure upon the sides of the mug. The tank for containing the water to be heated by the flame from the burner 11, is in the form'of a metal receptacle 17, in the construction shown, which is mounted in position by means of a yoke 18 which is welded in position upon the outer face of the receptacle near its upper end, the ends of the arms of the yoke being turned outwardly to provide pivot pins 19 and 20. As is shown in Fig. 1, the pivot pins 19 and 20 are located upon a line passing at one side of the center of the tank, whereby the tank is adapted normally to rest upon'a bar 21 secured between the standards 12 and 13 and extending slightly outwardly there from with respect to the mug A suitable cover 22 is provided for closing the upper end of the tank 17. A spout 23 is formed in the side of the tank, directly over the mug 5, as shown in Fig. 1.

When the device is to be used, a small amount of water is placed in the tank 17 and the burner 11 is lighted, serving very quickly to bring the Water in the tank 17 to the desired temperature. The tank 17 is then tipped by means of the yoke 18, being supported in position so as to empty directly into the mug 5,'as will be appreciated from an inspection of Fig. 1.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A device of the classdescribed comprising means for supporting a burner at the side of a shaving mug; and a tank pivot- Clips 15' and v ally mounted over the burner, positioned above the level of the mug in position to empty into the mug when tipped about its pivotal axis, substantially as described.

2. A device of the class described comprising a frame adapted to be removably mounted on the side of a shaving'mug; a tank pivotally mounted'on said frame in position to empty into the mug when tipped about its pivotal axis; and means for removably supporting a burner on said frame below said tank, substantially as described.

3. A device of the class described comprising a hook adapted to engage the edge of a shaving mug; clips operatively connected with said hook adapted to engage the sides of the mug; means for supporting a burner from said hook at the side of the mug; standards operatively connected with said hook and said clips and extending above the hook; and a tank pivotally mounted on said standards in position to empty into the mug when tipped about its pivotal axis, substantially as described.

L. A. device of the class described comprising means for supporting a burner at the side of a shaving mug; a tank pivotally mounted above the level of the mug on an axis passing at one side of the center of the tank in position to empty into the mug when tipped toward the mug; and means for holding the tank against tipping away from the mug beyond its normal position, substan-' tially as described.

5. A device of the class described comprisingabase formed of two crossed metal strips, the end portions of one of said strips being bent upwardly to provide standards; a hook on one upwardly turned end portion of the other strip adapted to engage the edge of a shaving mug for supporting the base at the side of the mug; bracing means connecting the standards with the hook member; clips adapted to engage the sides of the mug for holding said base against lateral movement; and a tank pivotally mounted between said standards above the edge of the mug in position to empty into the mug when tipped about its pivotal axis, substantially as described.

6. A device of the class described comprising a base adapted to rest upon a table for supporting a burner; a hook adapted to be used alternatively for supporting said base and said burner at the side of a shaving mug; and a tank pivotally mounted over the base in position, when mounted on a mug, to empty into the mug when the tank is tipped about its pivotal axis, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES J. DARABAN.
